Is there any sort of hello world for nxogre for .9? I have absolutely no idea what to do to get started, etc. I looked at the Cake thing but it is much to complicated for a first time app.
Someone help?

Cake is three files, with a solution. It is easiest thing that there is for NxOgre. Just follow the instructions for setting it up and you'll be fine; assuming you got NxOgre to compile that is.

yep, i managed to follow the outdated instructions on nxogre.org. Everything is built, and should work. I can build cake and get it to run as well. I suppose i'm off to do dissect cake more!!

lol sorry for the triple post but...
does the physics in cakebox demonstrate how fast nxogre will run in other applications? It runs very slow with only 2 entities on my computer. The physX examples run quite fast, however, even with 100s of entities.

How slow? I get ~1000 FPS with Cakebox.

it doesn't say the fps but it takes about 2 secs for the box to drop at the beginning..... and when i'm moving the box around and such it is very jumpy
and its not just that my computer was bogged down with other crap or something.

You can get the average FPS at the bottom of the Ogre.log, it varies drastically between Debug and Release.

lol, ok i figured out the problem.
11:33:57: OGRE EXCEPTION(5:ItemIdentityException): OverlayElement with name Core/NumBatches not found. in OverlayManager::getOverlayElementImpl at ..\src\OgreOverlayManager.cpp (line 588)
there was about 3000 of those in the log file.
oh and the fps was 250 or so.

Never heard of it and Cakebox never uses. You may find it in OgreCore.zip in the Ogre media folder.

greaaaat.....
i fix that problem (i had installed cakebox over the 0.4 tutorials) but now the fps drops to:
12:14:13: Render Target 'Powered by NxOgre' Average FPS: 25.7571 Best FPS: 38.8446 Worst FPS: 0.710606
i'm in release too...

how would i go about editing the video settings of cakebox? No usual Ogre box thing pops up.

Edit the yaml file in notepad

hmm it gets a little better when i downgrade the settings a bit but still not much.
12:32:26: OGRE EXCEPTION(5:ItemIdentityException): OverlayElement with name SandBoxGUI.w2b9c9 not found. in OverlayManager::getOverlayElementImpl at ..\src\OgreOverlayManager.cpp (line 588)
i'm getting a bunch of SandBoxGUI errors in the log though.

I've never had any of those errors. What Ogre version are you using?
99jonathan
30-07-2007 19:11:25
the latest (1.4.3?) built from source.

I'm encountering the same errors, see
here.
betajaen

I got them as well. A BetaGUI bug most likely. There not happening every frame, just at the beginning.
I'll sort something out.
